God Emperor

That night, the entire Blood God Sect was unable to stay calm. Their world was truly upended. Every now and then, terrifying saintly Qi would flood out and fill the sky. The young disciples all prostrated themselves on the ground in fear.

“Heavens, two Saints are chasing and killing again. How many terrifying changes will happen today? Has disaster truly descended?”

A young talent in the Heaven Realm looked up in the sky. A white cloud and a barrel-width bolt of lightning flew across the sky, one after another. The Spiritual Qi in the air crackled to the horizon.

It was a terrifying scene.

The cultivators on the ground could see a Saint in the cloud and lightning, creating a shocking battle. The Saints fought and the shockwaves that reached the ground turned into powerful gales of wind.

“First, it was the moon chasing the sun. Now, it’s lightning chasing a cloud. Which Saints are fighting?”

…

The disciples of the Blood God Sect were all terrified. It wasn’t only the “moon chasing sun” and “lightning chasing cloud” in the Elder Pavilion that scared them. There had been Saints chasing and fighting in other places earlier.

They had a feeling that the entire Blood God Sect was at war.

Some other Saints were still confused. They had no clue what had happened. Thinking that outside enemies had invaded, they activated the defensive formation and hurried toward the battlefields.

The cities and forces near the Blood God Sect also received news. They closed their gates and activated their defensive formations so they wouldn’t get affected.

Manipulating Spiritual Power, Zhang Ruochen transformed into a bolt of lightning. He chased the black-clothed cultivator while fighting. With his strength, it wasn’t hard to defeat a level 50 Spiritual Power Saint.

However, he was injured by Discipline King Diyuan earlier. His combat ability had decreased and he could only use Spiritual Power. He actually couldn’t take the man down in a short time.

Whoosh.

Zhang Ruochen flashed and lightning appeared within hundreds of miles in the air. Standing on a cloud, one could see a mass of electricity.

The black-clothed cultivator was also very powerful. The jade scepter in his hand was a Spiritual Power Saint weapon. It could strengthen his spells.

Sensing that Zhang Ruochen had caught up again, he spun around suddenly. Holding the jade scepter, he pointed at the incoming lightning and uttered, “Thousand Mile Ice City.”

That moment, the man seemed to become the world’s center. Snow started floating down from the sky. Closely after, in the floating snow above him, a huge city of silver snow appeared. Shocking power flooded down.

This was a very powerful Spiritual Power spell. It was even stronger than the combat abilities of some martial saint spells.

Kaboom.

The Thousand Mile Ice City crashed against Zhang Ruochen’s lightning. They broke each other down while battling, creating beams of chaotic Qi.

The city kept crumbling into pieces of mountain-sized crystals that fell to the ground. Even though Zhang Ruochen had broken the city, he still suffered. The injuries grew worse.

Taking this chance, the black-clothed man escaped to 100 miles away. Using Spiritual Power, he said, “So the Time and Space Descendant is only this? You don’t live up to your name. It seems that the outside world has exaggerated about you. I’ll come back to kill you when my Spiritual Power reaches level 51.”

Clearly, he thought that he was relatively safe when hundreds of miles away. He no longer feared Zhang Ruochen, so he purposely said those things to make Zhang Ruochen come after him.

He’d already sent a message to Elder Yuan Gui. As long as he could delay Zhang Ruochen, when Elder Yuan Gui came, he would be prey in the trap, ready for them to kill.

“Zhang Ruochen, you dare to say that you’ve killed Taigu Remains and defeated the nine Heirs with your abilities? This is such a joke.”

The man kept provoking Zhang Ruochen as he flew quickly.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t have a hot temper. He was well-grounded and naturally saw through the man’s true motive.

With his current injuries, he could just turn and leave, stopping the chase. However, he didn’t do that. Letting a Vampire Saint escape was like letting a tiger back into the mountain.

It would expose the fact that he was disguised as Gu Linfeng. Not only that, once the Immortal Vampires knew that Zhang Ruochen was in the Blood God Sect, they may immediately send a group of strong cultivators to attack. The sect might truly be destroyed then.

The news couldn’t be spread.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. Not caring if his injury would worsen, he used the Great Spatial Move. He passed through hundreds of miles in the sky in an instant, appearing before the black-clothed cultivator.

After becoming a Saint in Spiritual Power, Zhang Ruochen’s control over space had strengthened. Even after crossing hundreds of miles, he still hadn’t reached his limit.

Of course, forcefully using the Great Spatial Move caused pain in his organs. Many of his blood vessels snapped. He could only survive by using Spiritual Power.

The black-clothed man was shocked. He didn’t expect that Zhang Ruochen would appear in front of him. He wanted to use a physical technique, but it was too late.

“Icy World and Ten Mountains.” He put all the Spiritual Power in his body into the jade scepter.

Kaboom.

A towering snowy mountain appeared between him and Zhang Ruochen. Flying in the air, it produced a strong force that pressed down on Zhang Ruochen. Next, a second mountain appeared, and a third…

Ten snowy peaks appeared one after another, one layer atop another.

“Die!”

The man’s eyes were eerily cold and his body was covered in white frost. He gripped the scepter with both hands. His shoulders to his fingers were all frozen into translucent ice.

With this one spell, very few lower Saints are able to fight against him.

Zhang Ruochen knew that using Spiritual Power against him would give him a disadvantage, so he took out the Abyss Ancient Sword. Gritting his teeth, he prepared to use martial arts to quickly end the fight and find somewhere to recover.

He activated all 3,000 runes in the sword and raised the sword. The mighty Destruction of the Thousand Patterns flooded out.

“Break!”

Spitting out blood, Zhang Ruochen hacked down with the Abyss Ancient Sword. The ten mountains shattered at once.

The black-clothed man let out a strangled cry. Dozens of beams of Sword Qi cut through him, turning his body into a sieve. His body was covered in fist-sized bloody holes.

He fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground thousands of meters below. He became a pile of ground meat.

Spiritual Power Saints were physically weak. Their vitalities couldn’t be compared to a Martial Saint. He’d already died. All that remained was a blood-red saint heart. It flew up from the flesh, trying to escape.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed at the air and collected the saint heart. The surface had shreds of icy Qi. It tried to form a saintly image, but Zhang Ruochen was well-prepared. He slapped down, shattering the saintly image.

The black-clothed cultivator’s saint soul was very powerful. Hidden inside the heart, it spat out, “Zhang Ruochen, the strong cultivators of my race are hurrying over. You will die.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t waste time with him. Taking out the Ruyi Treasure Bottle, he put the heart inside. The heart and soul of a Spiritual Power Saint were both priceless treasures. Zhang Ruochen naturally couldn’t bear to destroy them. He planned on taking it back to reward the people of the Sacred Sect.

“Oh? There really is a strong figure hurrying over…”

Zhang Ruochen released Spiritual Power to cover himself. Gradually, he faded and finally vanished.

A moment later, white fog rose up in a forest in the near distance. A beautiful girl in glamorous clothing walked out of the fog. She had all the right curves. Her sumptuous chest and snake-like waist were filled with tempting beauty.

Her feet were bare and her legs were straight and snowy-white; her face was the perfect shape and her eyes were spirited.

A girl like her was truly like a goddess. Even a saint monk would break abstinence for her. Even a butcher may put down his knife for her.

It’s her.

Zhang Ruochen stared at her from the shadows. He had a shocked expression.

This was Empress Moran from the Blue Dragon Dynasty. How could she appear in the Blood God Sect?

Thinking closely, Zhang Ruochen’s confusion cleared. Empress Moran had once said that she’d cultivated in the Blood God Sect for decades. She was a member too. Since the Blue Dragon Void World had been destroyed, it was normal that she would return to the sect.

But he wondered who her teacher was.

Empress Moran’s delicate feet stepped on shreds of wind and came to the black-clothed man’s corpse. Her thin brows furrowed slightly. “I still came too late,” she murmured to herself. “Who killed him?”

She searched all around, but she couldn’t find the criminal or any traces left behind. Thus, she used a physical technique and flew to the horizon as a plume of white smoke.

“Is she the black-clothed cultivator’s helper?”

Zhang Ruochen pursued her with a suspicious expression.

After all, the remaining forces of the Blue Dragon Dynasty may have followed Empress Moran to the Blood God Sect. They were a mighty force and could affect the situation. Zhang Ruochen had to get things clear.

He followed Empress Moran into a very hidden valley in the Ancient Snow Mountain. Surprisingly, there was no snow there. Instead, it was filled with greenery and flowers. It was completely different from the outside world, like a hidden paradise.

Empress Moran flew down from the sky in a beautiful arc. She vanished in the valley’s red peach forest. Petals floated in the air.

Three words were carved onto the snow-covered stone tablet outside the valley: Mo You Valley.
